Notre Histoire.

Inspirée d’un concept simple, éprouvé et implanté en Amérique du Nord ainsi qu’à l’international,  Sabrina Ahmed était déterminée à démarrer un chapitre de 100+ Women Who Care à Montréal.  En pleine pandémie mondiale, ce n’était pas une mince tâche mais elle savait que le besoin de soutien des organismes caritatifs locaux était plus que jamais présent.  À la recherche d’une cofondatrice, Sabrina approcha d’abord Susan Hinojosa.  Susan fut tout de suite séduite par le concept du pouvoir d’un collectif féminin ayant comme mission de créer un impact social significatif et accepta sans hésitation. Elles recrutont ensuite Anita Salvatore, Paola Samuel et Jo-Ann Munro. C’est ainsi que l’équipe de rêve prit forme : 5 femmes passionnément engagées à générer un changement social positif et à transformer le paysage philanthropique local. Maintenant soutenues par un membership dépassant les 100 membres, elles interpellent toutes les femmes de coeur de la communauté montréalaise à prendre part au mouvement.
